THE WORLDS FAIR-lsoe.

Mr. William Euclid Young in a let.
ter to the New York Tribune sets forth
in strong terms the probabilities of the
success of the proposed Worlds Fair OF
1892 In commemoration of the four hun.
dredth anniversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus. lie says that
the project is one which, "both from
sentimental and practical point Of
view, all patriotic and pubic.spiritci
Americans can well afford 10 approve" b"
The conditions Of success, he also
urges, would be much more favorable
in 1902 than they were at the Centen.
nial of 1876. To quote from his letter:
According to the census of 1850 tho average
increase OF population throughout tue coun-
Try from 1870 was thirty-ooo per cent. Since
1850 the average has been still larger on ao.
count of increased immigration and from
other ctuscs. II Is reasonable to presume
that the population OF the countryin 1Sos over
that Of 1876 will be in the neighborhood of
fifty rer cent, which will give us u total pop
ulatiOn In that year of about 100000 Toe
IL crease in the number Of manufacturers has
been even greater, for from 1870 to 1880 the In
crease was 3i,i per cent since 1850 the In
crease has been, am quite sure, even more
striking. Taking the figures OF tho Centen.
NAL Exposition Us basis, therefore, II is not
unreasonable to presume that the number OF
exhibits by American manufacturers to a
Worlds Fair In 1892 would he largely in
creased over those of the Centennial. while
the attendance would be augmented by at
least fifty per cent, which would give total
attendance of at least 1900 900 persons, and
an approximate revenue from that source OF
100000. Add to this the revenues from
space, the sale Of privileges, etc, and the
financial success OF such an exhibition can
hardly be doubted.
1t is to be remarked that Mr.. Young
has apparently never heard Of the Per-
manent Exposition movement which
has been SO auspiciously inaugurated
at Washington, and is proceeding Alto
gether upon the assumption that the
Worlds Fair of 1892 is to be held in
New York instead of the National
Capital; but this little oversight In no
wise invalidates the force of his statis.
tics or detracts from the general cheer.

WALTER b. STEVENS, well known
here in Washington as correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe Democrat, Is just
now writing an excellent series Of letters
for that paper from Mexico. His latest
is from the National Capital and
graphically describes day in the Mexi-
can Congress. He had the good for
tune to attend session of the Chamber
Of Deputies. which corresponds to the
American House Of Representatives
on the day that the amendment to the
Constitution was adopted making Presi-
dent Diaz eligible to be his own sue.
cessor. He was surprised to find with
what dispatch this important matter
was disposed of, as compared with the
time such question would have re-
quired in Washington. The session
did no, begin until o'clock in the af.
ternoon, yet vote was reached and
the amendment passed before midnight.
The Chamber consists of 223 mem.
bers and like number of substitutes,
and the presiding officer, instead of
using gavcl, has need of nothing
more than little call bell to call them
10 order. A Deputy seldom occupies
more than half an hour for a speech,
and generally gets through in twenty
minutes. Neither is he liable to inter.
ruptions; there are no colloquies, no
disputations, no interchanges of black.
guardism on the floor of the Chamber.
This accounts in part for the greater
facility with which business is trans.
acted, and suggests an improvement in
the methods of Parliamentary debate in
the American House that would involve
a great saving of time and avert many
exhibitions of bad temper.

THE recent malignant letter of Gen.
Thomas l.. Rosser, the ex Confederate
BIigadier, denouncing General Phil.
Sheridan for the wor devastations In
the Shenandoah Valley, has rekindled
the smothered comp fires of the Grand
Army of the Republic all along the
line, and the veteran "boys In blue
are firing into Rosser with red hot
shot. 1t has also had the effect of
starting Presidential "boom" for the
Lieutenant General of the Army, which
may possibly assume important proper
tions. The ticket talked about In
Washington hotel corridors is:
For President, General Phil. II.
Sheridan of Ohio
For Vice President, Chauncey NJ.
